Main Quad on Campus. Gotta love the landscaping!
The Princess Mother. Everytime a student or staff walk by, they wai (praying hands while bowing the head) the statue out of respect.

MFU campus has a very American feel, yet uniquely Thai. For example, most of the walkways are covered, awning style, to shield from the powerful UV rays as well as rain. Also, since running AC is extremely expensive, many of the cafeterias and other large meeting places are pavilion style with fans. MFU also has excellent athletic facilities such as lighted outdoor basketball courts, indoor arena, and soccer stadium.
I really enjoy this campus and am so thankful that so many of the students speak excellent English. When praying for this campus pray for the students, staff, and the administration. Let me know if you have any more questions about the campus.
